Case 2: Sister Alex 2. How would you describe Alex's language development for a 3-year-old? What are your expectations of a toddler in terms of language development? 3. What are your views about toilet training? At what age should a child start learning control? Part I Alex is the 3-year-old sister of Baby Kelly and older brother Chris. Once Alex was told of her mother's pregnancy in winter, she excitedly awaited Kelly's arrival. She would often pretend that her dolls were her new baby brother. She would play in her room pretending to be the mother. Her parents could hear her talking to her doll, "Baby, Mamma rock," and watched her holding her doll in her arms slowly rocking it. During the pregnancy Alex was pleasant and eager to please mom and dad. Contextual Analysis Questions 1. If you were Alex's teacher, what strategies might you employ knowing that Alex was expecting a new sibling? By mid-summer, Alex was toilet trained in order to attend pre-school in the fall. Her parents were thrilled that she would be attending a local pre-school versus the child care center. They knew that one "baby" in the family was enough. 2. Based on Alex's eagerness to please, how would you expect her to respond to the birth of Baby Kelly? What assumptions are you making based on Alex's developmental stage? At pre-school, Alex enjoys the other children and is often engaged in the dress-up and block areas in the classroom. When playing "house" she often engages in the same play as home - being the mommy or big sister to a new baby brother. A few weeks after starting pre- school, Baby Kelly was born prematurely. Baby Kelly's birth had an impact on Alex. Psychosocial Analysis Questions 1. In what ways does Alex's pre-school experience promote a sense of autonomy? Developmental Analysis Questions 2.
